I was on 5mg zyprexa for 14months.I tryed to quit serveral times but every time i got nausea,vometing and total insomnia.I know it was the zyprexa because i have never been like that before..Finally 6weeks ago i decided to quit whith this tablest for ever.After 3days i started to vomiting.I was vometing in 8days and then nausea but not vomiting after 11days..The first 5weeks without zyprexa i also got TOTAL insomnia..I couldnt sleep a minut DAY or NIGHT.It was like beeing in hell!After 5weeks nausea are not so often anymore.And i have started to sleep alittle again.So iam much better now after 6weeks without zyprexa.Finally it looks like my body are getting better now..so to all zyprexa users that have total insomnia after withdrawal..DONT give up!!Many times i felt like giving up,but i didnt!and iam very happy now.i was afraid my brain was damaged because i couldnt sleep at all the first 5weeks..not even sleeping tablets helped much..but now i see that my brain have started to finally give in.. and let me to sleep again..I know zyprexa are famous for horrible withdrawal..but dont give up guys!! i made it!!!
(also i didnt get of 5mg cold turkey..i was on 2.5mg for almost 1month..)Eric
